Don't forget Dragonair, guys. He was beautiful and then became something.. something else.

I never evolved my dragonair to dragonite. Dragonite just a ugly bozo.

 

[Makonero]

what is oshwatt?

A freak of nature.

 

[AndrewDean84xX]

Will the Pokemon talk(say their names)?

 

[Soma]

so this is gonna be three generations in a row where I'm going with the Water starter as my favorite

I'm okay with this.

 

[ohlawd]

[zroid]

I haven't even played a third version since Yellow, so "dealing" with this being so soon after B2/W2 is a situation I'm in for the first time.

I'm sure it'll be alright, new gens always introduce enough to the formula to reignite that fire. Exciiiiiited.

 

[Qurupeke]

It'll be exciting to play a Pokemon where it hasn't been FAQd to death by Japan, honestly.

Ah yes. I'd really like the feeling of the unknown. Imagine not knowing the Pokemon, their evolutions, the places... :3 I CANNOT WAIT.

I know i dont care about weak though. I had a lvl 80 something ratatta on yellow because its so cute and raticate is a trifling bitch.

 

[sgjackson]

The deer legendary owns, I can't decide which starter I like best, and I'm tentatively excited about 3d.

 

[Azure J]

Someone actually said Dragonite was lame?

Ban that filth!

 

[McNum]

Walking through a patch of high grass with no information available anywhere on what you can find there. Facing off against Gym Leaders, Elite Four and Champions that you have no way of looking up strategies for.

It's going to be great.

 

[Etzer]

Well, I guess I'm gonna have to re-buy a 3DS by October. I'm really looking forward to seeing what they've done to improve the series on 3DS. I guess the hype was warranted for this announcement.

Also, whoever doesn't like Chespin is an awful, awful person.

 

[Acid08]

guh those starters blow

will probably pick fire.

 

[Kesagiri]

Looks great! I'm glad they finally moved on to the 3DS and 3D.

Worldwide launch is also great news, the wait for black and white to be localized was a bit too long.

And as usual the fire starter is the best. Fennec Fox ftw.

Anyone else think they'll go back to a third version ala XYZ as in three axis for 3D?

 

[EvilMario]

Dragonite is my favourite Dragon, but it's not even close to what Dragonair should have been.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Compared to dragonair yesh. If yall like big goofy dragonair yall needs be banned with le quickness!

edit: I meant big goofy dragonite!

 

[ivysaur12]

Spoiler

I've been hoping for a reboot, taking place far in the future.. and having no returning Pokemon.. but some descendants from the current ones. It'll never happen, of course.

WHY would you do that

 

[Hieberrr]

Hey guys, how is the battery life of the XL compared to the regular 3DS?

 

[CorvoSol]

dude Blastoise had CANNONS, motherfucking cannons out of his back, he is like a tank, he is just shitting on everyone.

But yes Charizard is also awesome, but a wannabe dragon.

Yo, but Charizard had a flaming tail and of the three looks the coolest as a shiny. Freaking not only does he get the Orange/Blue, but also Red/Black. Charizard was one slick mammajamma.

Don't forget Dragonair, guys. He was beautiful and then became something.. something else.

If Dragonite had only kept Dragonair/Dratini's aesthetic it would've been awesome. Ditch the antennae for those white fins of its predecessors, paint it blue and white, and color the eyes black. MUCH BETTER.

 

[Malio]

Handhelds again...lame. I guess Gale of Darkness will be the last "good" pokemon game we get on a console.

 

[btkadams]

Ah yes. I'd really like the feeling of the unknown. Imagine not knowing the Pokemon, their evolutions, the places... :3 I CANNOT WAIT.

i just hope there are a bunch of new pokemon. it sure isn't going to feel unknown when i'm catching budews and pidgeys.

 

[BGBW]

Will the Pokemon talk(say their names)?

You expect them to record a cry for every Pokémon times at least six? The worldwide release is a big deal here.

 

[Santiako]

Hey guys, how is the battery life of the XL compared to the regular 3DS?

Better. (5-6 hours instead of 3-4)

[Exterminieren]

I've temporarily dropped Dwebble for Chespin. Team Chespin needs to be representing at the moment.

 

[ffdgh]

Speaking Of shinies, I wonder what they would look like...and they have to make a shiny 3d model for over 700+ pokemon and alternate forms.....

 

[Regulus Tera]

I'm really digging the cel shaded graphics look. I skipped the B/W generation, so maybe it's time to pick up this one.

Did someone change the meaning of cel-shaded while I wasn't looking?

 

[fifasnipe2224]

I have only played Yellow. How will this game 'feel' for me?

 

[NoTacos]

Lmfao right now. Chespin gets no love. I think I'm going to get Y.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

I just hope I can SR the shit out of my game for a shiny fennec in the begining..plz based masuda.

 

[Wyndstryker]

Firefox and stag legendary ftw!

I might pick up a 3ds when this comes out.

 

[Hieberrr]

Better. (5-6 hours instead of 3-4)

I found a 3DS for 70 bucks. Is the XL worth the additional 100?

 

[Charoncaori]

The shinies don't have any physical differences, just colors. Easy texture change, you don't have to remodel them.

 

[Frolow]

Better. (5-6 hours instead of 3-4)

I thought it was 3.5-5 hours of battery life for the XL.

 

[Regulus Tera]

This has to make Nintendo a little nervous. They don't know what the respone to 3D will be. Depending on sales this could be the start of a new direction for Pokemon or the end of it.

Hahaha you actually believe that.

 

[Santiako]

I found a 3DS for 70 bucks. Is the XL worth the additional 100?

Some people prefer the original, I think the XL is better in every way, but 70 bucks sounds like a bargain, so maybe buy that and upgrade when the XL gets cheaper?

 

[NateDrake]

Fennekin will be my starter choice. Reminds me of Vulpix.

 

[Raxus]

I have only played Yellow. How will this game 'feel' for me?

Miles ahead. Tons of new stuff is now in place that wasn't in place gen one. For starters Dark and Steel are two new types. It only gets crazier from there.

 

[Kouriozan]

Lmfao right now. Chespin gets no love.

I am sad.

 

[IHaveIce]

Ok I just turned my 3ds on for the first time in ages, I have to download a system update.

The update crashes halfway through.

What to do

 

[Bel_Air_Jeff]

Thinking about starting over Pokemon Black in order to hype myself up for this new one..
I never finished it; I stopped about half way through.

I'll just delete my file and start over.

 

[CornBurrito]

If the fire starter evolves into a fire/fighting type I swear I will buy this game used.

 

[BGBW]

Speaking Of shinies, I wonder what they would look like...and they have to make a shiny 3d model for over 700+ pokemon and alternate forms.....

Recolour the textures Smash style. They already did this for Pokémon Stadium on the N64 which was before shinies even existed (nicknames changed the colours)

 

[EvilMario]

I have only played Yellow. How will this game 'feel' for me?

Compare Super Mario Bros to NSMB U. It's a similar formula, but with a lot more added over the years. Pokemon has come a long way since Yellow in terms of gameplay and hidden mechanics. Parts will seem familiar (the beginning, catching Pokemon), but it will generally be all new for you.

 

[ConradCervantes]

Waiting for Pokemon Z.

 

[Dennis]

Reposting some of the gifs I made.
